B minor chord: Bm

 

The B minor Barre is 2nd fret.

This means that your 1st finger should be flat across all the strings at the 2nd fret whilst your thumb should be around halfway down the back of the neck of the guitar.

This will allow you to fret the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers and increase your ability to bridge the strings.

Alternatives:

The X’s indicate that these strings are not played. Only strum on pick the strings that you fingers are holding down.
